Bangladesh 2050 Pathways

Energy. Food. Emissions.

Low carbon development pathways for Bangladesh

Bangladesh faces significant challenges in meeting growing demand for energy and enhancing access to energy due to rapid urbanization, growing population and increasing energy-intensive economic activities. Diversification of primary energy supply and enhancing energy security are key issues for the development of the energy infrastructure. BD2050 is an integrated model of energy demand and supply, food production, and emissions in Bangladesh to explore low carbon development pathways between now and 2050.

BD2050 is an integrated model of energy, food and emissions in Bangladesh to explore energy-secure, low carbon development pathways between now and 2050. The model was developed at Cardiff University, UK by a team of researchers led by Monjur Mourshed.
